About MSC Opera

MSC Opera came along in 2004 and has more character per square foot than most ships twice her size. Like the rest of the Lirica class, she was lengthened in 2015 to squeeze in more space, but the soul of the ship didn't change. The interior design pulls from Europe's grand opera houses, the theatre puts on full-scale productions, and the casino could hold its own against venues on land. Opera frequently sails the Middle East and Indian Ocean, which suits passengers looking for warm-weather itineraries with some cultural depth.
